In Fig. 4 a modification of therinvention has been disclosed in which it is'provided with a cork support 22 comprising a piece of wire bent into a substantially annular portion but having separated ends so as to form a spring clip to engage the cork. This wire is secured by a bolt 21 upon the web portion as previously described. This form of the invention also distinguishes in that the conical shaped pen supports 10 and 11 are formedwith top flanges 23 having a plurality of spaced cuts 24 completely about the peripheries and extending slight distances down into the body of the conical shaped pen supports as: clearly illustrated in Fig. 4. This arrangement gives the pen supports a certain degree of resiliency so that pens may be forced therein and maintain their position under resilient stress. In otherrespects this form of the invention is similar to the previous form and similar parts may be recognized by corresponding reference numerals. V

In Figs. 5 and 6 another modified form of the invention has been disclosed which is substantial- 1y identical to the form illustrated in Figs. 1-3 except for the construction of the ink bottle support. According to thisform of theinvention the ink bottle support comprises a strip of ma terial which has a central portion 25 engaged intimately against the frontside of the web 13. It has continuations from the portions 25 continued into annular portions 27 adapted top-are tially encircleth'e ink bottle. These continuations 27 terminate -in'outturned ends 28 which serve the double function of finishing the ends of the continuations 27 and constituting hooks for receiving an elastic band or other resilient element to draw the continuation" 2'7 tightly against the sides of the ink bottle. The strip 27 is also formed withv several feet 29 extending from the bottom'edgeso that the device'may rest upon a table or other fiat surfaces. The strip 27 may also be formed without feet 29. V Figs. 7 and 8 another modified form of the invention has been disclosed which is 'very similar to the form illustrated in Figs.- land 2 inclusive except for the construction of the ink bottle support. According to this form the ink bottle support comprises a band 30 of circular shape-attached by a bolt 31 upon the'lower portion of the webportion 13 of thepen supports.

is of annular shape and has its endsadjacent each other and engaged by a clamping screw 33 so that the band may be clamped upon an ink bottle. The dot and dash lines 34 illustrate a square ink bottle with the clamp attached in place. r

. In Figs. Band 10 another modified formof the invention is disclosed which also distinguishes merely in theconstruction of the ink bottle support. According to this form the ink bottle sup- 7 7 port comprisesa band of material 35 which'is secured at the center by a bolt 36 upon the web portion 13 of the bottle support. This band 35 is of semicircular shape and at the ends has pins 37to which a spring 38 or other resilient element is attached; This spring38 is so constructed thatit tends to assume a semicircular shape and in conjunction with theband 35 is capable of clamping against'the bottle. 3' V j In Fig. 11 a modified form of the invention hasv been disclosed in which the device comprises merely an ink bottle support with a cork holder. More particularly the device comprises a plate 40 having several projecting clips 41 for. engaging and clamping against the sides of the bottle. A

This band finger 42 also projects from the member 46 and has a horizontal portion formed with an aperture cated by the dot and dash lines'43. 1.

In Fig. 12 another variation of the invention has been disclosed which shows an arrangement whereby the angular relation of the pen supports may be varied. According to this form each of the pen supports comprises a sheet of material havinga web portion 45 and turned at one'end so as to be able to hold the cork of a bottle india producing a conical shaped pen support-portion 46. Two of these units are arranged sothat the web portions are directly over each other. These Web portions are formed with substantially horizontal arcuate slots 47 engaged by bolts and nuts 48 sotha't they may be clamped in various positions... The advantages of this adjustable arrangem'ent is of a double nature, first of all it allowsfor changing the angular position of the pen supports which is desirable from an esthetic point of view and it also allows variation of the 7 distance between the conical shaped portions 46 so as to better engage the edges or a; clip engaged between the lower ends or apexes of the j conical shaped pen supports and against the web. this clipbeing for the purpose of attachingan ink support element upon the pen supports.

In Fig. 13 the clamp isattached to the neck of the bottle, and the bottom of the penholder is provided with spherical legs 48. I

It is to be understoodthat my device may be made of any metahconiposition or any other suitable substance.

While I have shown and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understoodthat-I do not limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed andthe right is reserved to all changes and modifications coming within-the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
